This is a nice site, with a large rock outcropping overlooking the lake. There is a good landing in the small inlet on the north-west side, with a short climb to the main area. As another reviewer noted, there is not much seating, except for the rock, but there are two decent tent pads, close together, behind the fire grate, a relatively new biffy, and a great view looking down toward Jackfish Bay.

Nice site. Big rock feature in the front of the site with a landing around the corner in the cove. Lots of ants, but not a nuisance. I think I found the main hill next to the pad closest to the channel. Heard a deer walking through the site in the morning while we were still in the tent. There was a low, 4 foot bench to sit on, but nothing else besides the rocks to sit on. A trail at the boat landing went into the wood, though I did not explore to see where it lead. Cut up and split some wood for the next camper.
